It will be remembered that John Wesley, in his sermon at the foundation of the City Road Chapel in 1777 four years, be it observed, before Lady Huntingdon's secession described, in his own vigorous language, the difference between the attitude of his followers towards the Church, and that of the followers of Lady Huntingdon and Mr. Whitefield.
As for me," he consulted his watch, "I am due in half an hour's time to conduct the rehearsal of a service of song at the Lady Huntingdon's Chapel, down the street, where I play the harmonium." The diversity of Dewy dazed me. "You are staying the night at F ?" he said. "Why, yes. I sleep at the Ship Inn, but hoped to leave early to-morrow."
The Prince has cast a covetous eye upon Marian, and, although he outwardly favours the wish of the Sheriff, he is secretly determined to seize her for himself. The revellers at Huntingdon's feast, unaware of the Prince's presence, execrate his name, and at length he retires, in a silent fury.

Many predicted a duel or a street encounter; but weeks passed, and though, in casual meetings, Mr. Huntingdon's glare of hate was always answered by a mocking smile of cold disdain, the cloud floated off without breaking into bloody showers. Mr. Mitchell's health had failed so rapidly as winter approached, that Dr.
